Carpet cleaning is a task best handled by professionals, but it can be a costly option that cannot be considered frequently. A better option is to do it yourself. There are many cleaners for carpets available that can help you keep your carpet looking spotlessly clean. However, not all work with the same level of efficiency or give you the quality of cleaning required to give your carpet a professionally clean look.
So how do you decide which is the best carpet cleaner? One way of doing so is to look for the Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI) Seal of Approval. The Carpet and Rug Institute tests cleaners on a number of factors and based on their performance on these criteria, CRI issues one of its three Seals of Approval - Gold, Silver or Bronze.
Among the many approved rug cleaners currently available in the market, some of the best cleaners include the Bissell 9400 ProHeat 2X Select Upright Deep Carpet Cleaner, the Hoover F5914-900 SteamVac with Clean Surge, and the Bissell 1200B SpotBot Hands-Free Compact Deep Cleaner. While the first two are full room carpet cleaners, the third one is a spot cleaner. 1)Bissell 9400 ProHeat 2X Select Upright Deep Carpet Cleaner:
The Bissell 9400 ProHeat 2X Select Upright Deep Carpet Cleaner is as close as it gets to getting your carpets professionally cleaned, but without the associated cost. With 12 rows of rotating Dirt Lifter Power Brushes and surround suction action, the Bissell 9400 ProHeat deep cleans your carpet and grooms carpeted floors. The Power Brushes agitate the carpet to bring deep-sitting dirt to the surface while the wide, 12-inch nozzle quickly sucks up every speck of dirt.
The 9400 ProHeat offers three cleaning choices - light clean, normal rinse, and heavy traffic. It has a built-in heater that heats both water and cleaning formula to remove even the toughest carpet stains. Ultra-smooth wheels make the cleaner extremely easy to maneuver while the extra-long 30-foot power cord allows you take the cleaner to every corner of your home. The Bissell 9400 ProHeat also has a full-capacity tank that takes both water and cleaning formula and comes with a full set of tools to make even the toughest cleaning a breeze.
2)Hoover F5914-900 SteamVac with Clean Surge:
One of the most powerful cleaners currently on the market, the Hoover F5914-900 SteamVac does away with the need to rent a steam cleaner for your carpet, rugs, and upholstery. It is equally effective on carpets and bare floors. Five spinning brushes that operate at two speeds dig up and lift even deeply ingrained dirt and grime.
A trigger built into the handle releases a mixture of cleaner and hot tap water to get stains out of your carpet. This SteamVac comes with a special Clean Surge feature that hits stubborn stains with extra cleaning solution to get these off your carpet. Two water tanks in the deep cleaner make it easy to separate clean water from dirty one, while the top tank automatically mixes detergent with a gallon of hot water to get the perfect cleaning mixture. Other features include an eight foot long hose, a brush indicator, an on-off foot pedal, and a 27-inch power cord.
3)Bissell 1200B SpotBot Hands-Free Compact Deep Cleaner Carpet Cleaner:
Listed by many as the best spot cleaner around, the Bissell SpotBot Hands-Free Compact Deep Cleaner requires minimal human intervention for its cleaning work. All you are required to do is place it over the spot or stain, get the machine started, and leave it alone. The SpotBot comes with two preprogrammed modes for surface or set-in stains, and an option for manual cleaning.
This cleaner is equally effective on food, juice, and pet stains. Its unique spiral brushing action evenly spreads the cleaning formula over the stain and agitates it thoroughly to remove even the toughest of stains.
